BabyBe is using Intel's connected device platform Edison to actually better the lives of people, specifically premature babies and their mothers.
The most important component is the "Cradle" a pad embedded with air bladders and heating elements, sheathed in a medically-safe polyurethane.
It's soft and a little odd feeling. It's supposed to mimic the density and texture of human skin, but kind of ends up falling into uncanny valley territory. The air-sacks inside mimic the heartbeat and chest movement of the mother, who can't hold her fragile premature child.
